The main benefit of the covid vaccine is reducing symptoms when you get covid and reducing hospitalisations.
If you are worried about getting covid, vaccinate yourself. That's it, you don't need anyone else to be vaccinated.

That is not marginally less and which is why people should be vaccinated. Also unvaccinated people place significant strain on the hospital system preventing elective surgery and increasing my costs as a taxpayer.

Almost two years in and people still don't understand that there is a difference in severity of an infection. When vaccinated, you are much less likely to develop severe symptoms and very unlikely to have to get hospitalized.
What if I'm worried about healthcare system collapse by surge of unvaccinated people, resulting in disruption of non-covid-related medical care? This disruption can even last after the epidemic ends, as the medical staff is burning out and quitting. (this is happening right now in .cz)
Deregulate until things are sane if you live in the USA were the government and insurance companies propped up the prices ridiculously.
I'm sure that if you prevent non-vaccinated people not to go to public hospital, they will gladly comply.
But I don't think covid is a battle we will win with vaccines, the virus mutates fast and the effectiveness drops pretty fast. As of the latest figures I'm reading in the newspapers, 40% of people in ICU because of Covid are vaccinated, 60% are not.
Hopefully some medication will come up to cure the symptoms, like remdesivir.
